Weekly Update | 7 Weeks

Week 6 has been crazy beyond words can express! My attitude and patience has been extremely thin and I've just been ready to lash on any and everybody. Nonetheless, I was healthy and everything was well according to my first sonogram on July 5th. 

How far along? 7 weeks and 2 days, but apprently when I went for my sono last Friday I was only 6 weeks  and 1 day, so I would be 6 weeks and 5 days -- going to clarify with my doctor even though my due date is still Feb 23rd.

Total weight gain: Not sure, but last weight check was 82lbs. I'll check in another week or so at my next appointment.

Size and growth of the baby: The size of a blueberry!

Gender: Too early to tell.

Maternity clothes: None yet, but I do have to wear larger shirts that are more flowly and loose.

Sleep: Sleep has been great! Only thing is that this baby has me sleeping all day, but up all night long.

Best moment(s) of the week: Got my babies first picture taken when I went for my sonogram. My next sonogram is August 19th. I also purchased a baby book for the first five years from Babysakes which I love. I wanted a pink one, but because I'm not sure if I'm having a girl or boy I got a neutral kind of pastel book instead. My boyfriend also asked me to marry him, so now we're engaged.

Movement: None.

Food cravings/aversions: I've been having major food aversions. No cravings as much lately. 

Morning sickness: None, just slight dizziness if I get off my bad too fast. 

Symptoms: Fatigue, constipation, sore & hard breasts, back pains, nausea, food averions and hair growing extremely fast on my body *yikes*.

Labor Signs: Way too early!

Belly button in/out: The same, I've always had an outtie.

Wedding ring on or off: I'm engaged now, so my ring is on.

Mood: Highly moody and get extremely aggrevated and annoyed with everyone quickly.

What I miss: Cute fitted tops, being able to blog and make videos without getting too tired, traveling to do shoots and makeovers and just smiling all the time. This pregnancy has really put a huge dent in my relationship with my boyfriend emotionally and physically. I miss just being able to go and enjoy my life without being too concerned about what I'm doing. 

What I'm looking forward to: Receiving my baby's first book this week hopefully (or at least by next Monday) and my first prenatal appointment July 19th. 

Overall week 6 was great and week 7 seems to be going okay so far.

Here's baby's first picture!

Have a blessed day everyone.

Maternal Family...

Hi love nugget!

Hope you're having a ball inside me. Just wanted to write this quick letter to you because I constantly find myself shedding tears over this. I'm not sure if you'll ever meet my half of your family and it hurts so much. As much as I would love you to, they are just too much. I wish the good outweighed the bad, but it never does. My family just doesn't know how to get over their egos and issues and simply love through differences.  I wish they did. All I want for you is to know that even if you never ever meet them, I love you and we'll get through it together. Hopefully one day I can have you meet them, but who knows. I'll just pray to God that someday things will be much better and you can at least one of your aunts and a cousin or two from my side of the family tree.

Anywho, I love you my little jelly bean and can't wait to see you during the sonogram tomorrow.

Love,

Mommy

Weekly Update | 6 Weeks

6 weeks & 2 days.

I swear I look like I'm farther along then I am. I maybe 10 weeks or I maybe 6 weeks. As of now, I believe I'm 6 weeks along, but sheesh being petite and underweight makes me look months pregnant -- lol.

How far along? 6 weeks and 1 day.

Total weight gain: When I went to the doctor last week they said 82lbs. I've gained 2.5lbs so far.

Size and growth of the baby: The size of a pea. I get actual measurements when I get the sonogram done this Friday!

Gender: Too early to tell.

Maternity clothes: None yet, but the way my belly looks, I swear I need bigger shirts and tons of maxi dresses.

Sleep: Sleep has been great!

Best moment(s) of the week: This past week I meet with the prenatal nurse

Movement: None yet, just slight cramping here and there.

Food cravings/aversions: Still craving seafood badly, but now I'm craving hot wings too!

Morning sickness: Not much, I just eat a few crackers and drink water when I feel the queasy feeling coming along. 

Symptoms: Sore breast, tender & itchy nipples, frequent need to pee and fatigue. Recently just started getting back pains as well.

Labor Signs: Way too early!

Belly button in/out: The same, I've always had an outtie.

Mood: My mood has been crazy. Been really emotionally lately and my attitude has been through the roof.

What I miss: Small crop tops, comfortable bras and being able to freelance as a makeup artist. I miss being able to sleep at night without having to pee so many times as well ... lol!

What I'm looking forward to: My sonogram appointment on Friday. Really want to know if I am really 6 weeks or if I'm 10 weeks. Looking forward to getting my energy back up and also doing a bit more walking around outside (hopefully). 

Overall, looking forward to this week!

Stay blessed!
